This really is a joy to behold, and the perfect title to use as an opener to music lessons. - Teach Primary
This book immediately sparked mine and Nora and Jonas' interest. The beautiful illustrations are super inviting, the story enchanting, taking the reader on a musical adventure with interactive music to press and play. It's a fabulous learning tool too about musical instruments, parts of an orchestra, the entire ensemble, composers and musical compositions. Highly recommend this book for any musical interested children and will most certainly purchase it as the perfect gift for friends and family. Nora loved everything about this book - the colour, the beautiful music played, and the journey of the story. Highly recommended! - The Green Parent
